I help adults confidently navigate a new diagnosis of coeliac disease and assist those who may be suffering with ongoing symptoms by educating them to make gluten free food choices that they enjoy whilst restoring their gut health.

11/06/2026

A lot of people assume that if you’re gluten free, you must be healthy.

And if you have coeliac disease, you may have even thought this yourself.

After all, you’re avoiding gluten, reading labels, planning ahead and doing everything you can to look after your health.

So it can feel confusing when you don’t feel as well as you think you should.

The reality is that while a gluten-free diet is essential for managing coeliac disease, “gluten free” doesn’t automatically mean nutritionally balanced or optimised for gut health.

What often gets missed is the how:

✔️ How gluten-containing foods are being replaced

✔️ Whether enough fibre and gluten-free wholegrains are included

✔️ How nutrient needs are being met

✔️ And whether there are other factors contributing to ongoing gut symptoms

So if you’ve ever found yourself thinking:

“I’m gluten free... shouldn’t I feel healthier than this?”

I want you to know you’re not alone.

And it doesn’t necessarily mean you’re doing anything wrong.

It may simply mean there are pieces of the puzzle that haven’t been fully explored yet.

This is exactly the space I work in—helping women with coeliac disease and ongoing gut symptoms understand what’s really driving how they feel, while building a nourishing, sustainable gluten-free diet that supports both gut health and long-term wellbeing.

💬 Have you ever thought you should feel healthier just because you’re gluten free? Let me know in the comments below.

When you were diagnosed with coeliac disease, were you taught how to build a fibre-rich gluten free diet?

Or were you simply told to avoid gluten?

Because they’re not the same thing.

A fascinating new study found that people with coeliac disease had differences in the bacteria living in their small intestine, even after starting a gluten free diet.

The researchers also found signs that these bacteria may not use fibre as effectively as those seen in people without coeliac disease.

Why does this matter?

Because fibre doesn’t just help keep us regular.

It helps nourish the bacteria that live in our gut and support overall gut health.

The most exciting finding came from a mouse study, where adding a prebiotic fibre called inulin alongside a gluten free diet was associated with improved gut healing.

Importantly, this has not yet been proven in humans.

But it reinforces something I talk about all the time:

👉 Going gluten free is essential.

👉 Building a nutritious, fibre-rich gluten free diet is equally important.

Because the goal isn’t simply to remove gluten.

It’s to support your gut health long term.

💛 Fruit
💛 Vegetables
💛 Legumes
💛 Nuts and seeds
💛 Gluten free wholegrains

These foods do a lot more than help prevent constipation.

Most people are told what to take out of their diet after a coeliac disease diagnosis.

Far fewer are shown what needs to be put back in.

And that’s where things can get tricky.

Because while a gluten free diet is the only treatment for coeliac disease, simply removing gluten doesn’t automatically mean your diet is nutritionally balanced.

Over the years, I’ve worked with many women who are doing an incredible job avoiding gluten, yet still struggle with fatigue, low energy, persistent symptoms, or concerns about whether they’re getting everything their body needs.

Sometimes it’s fibre.

Sometimes it’s iron.

Sometimes it’s calcium, iodine, or other nutrients that have quietly fallen by the wayside as eating patterns change after diagnosis.

This is why my role as a coeliac dietitian goes far beyond reviewing food labels and identifying sources of gluten.

As part of my consultations, I can complete a detailed dietary analysis using FoodWorks software to assess whether your gluten free diet is meeting your nutritional requirements and identify any potential gaps before they become bigger issues.

Because the goal isn’t just to be gluten free.

It’s to build a gluten free diet that supports your energy, gut health, long-term wellbeing, and confidence around food.

If your bowel habits are unpredictable, this might be one of the reasons why.

One thing I see all the time in clinic is people skipping meals because they can’t find gluten free food they trust, or because there simply aren’t any suitable options available.

Maybe you’re:
▫️ travelling
▫️ stuck in meetings
▫️ running errands
▫️ at a café, food court or petrol station with limited options

So you decide to wait until later.

The problem?

Your gut thrives on rhythm and routine.

Regular meals help stimulate regular digestive activity, while long gaps between eating can contribute to bowel habits feeling more unpredictable.

That’s why one of my favourite foundational gut health principles is:

💛 Regular meals for regular bowels.

Instead of skipping meals completely, think about what you can eat:

🍌 Banana + handful of nuts
🥛 Yoghurt
🥚 Boiled eggs
🧀 Cheese + GF crackers
🛒 A quick supermarket meal when cafés don’t have suitable options
🥪 Packing something from home when you’re unsure what’s available

Sometimes improving gut symptoms isn’t about another elimination diet.

Sometimes it’s about getting the foundations right first.

👇 Have you ever skipped a meal because there weren’t any gluten free options available?

If you’ve made it to this post, chances are you’re not just curious — you’re ready for things to feel clearer, calmer, and more supported when it comes to your gut health or coeliac journey 💛

And first up, I just want to say this:

You don’t need to have everything figured out before reaching out.

Most of the women I work with come to me feeling:
▫️ overwhelmed by conflicting advice
▫️ unsure what’s actually driving their symptoms
▫️ tired of guessing with food
▫️ and ready for a more structured, supportive way forward

That’s exactly what my work is designed for.

Whether it’s through my 1:1 Savvy Coeliac Program or a focused Gut Health Intensive, my role is to help you:
💛 understand what’s actually going on
💛 simplify the noise and confusion
💛 and create a plan that actually fits your real life (not a perfect one)

There is no “right time” to reach out — and you don’t need to be at breaking point either.

If you’re feeling stuck, this is your sign that support is available and you don’t have to keep doing it alone.

Here’s how to take the next step:
▫️ Head to the website link in my bio to explore options
▫️ Or send me a DM with “SUPPORT” and I’ll help guide you to what’s most appropriate for you

Either way — we’ll start where you’re at 💛

If you’ve just landed here — hi, I’m really glad you’re here 💛

I’m Jessica, a coeliac and gut health dietitian… but also a mum of 3, someone living with coeliac disease myself, and very much in the thick of busy, everyday life (school runs, sports days, endless laundry… you know the drill).

And honestly, that’s a big part of why I do what I do.

Because I know what it feels like to be doing your best with food and health…
but still feeling:
▫️ tired
▫️ confused by conflicting advice
▫️ unsure if your symptoms are “normal”
▫️ or like you’re constantly second-guessing every bite

My work is about changing that.

I help busy women with coeliac disease and gut issues feel more confident, more energised, and more in control of their health — without food feeling complicated or overwhelming.

Because it’s not just about what you eat.

It’s about understanding your body, your symptoms, your life… and building something that actually works in the real world.

That’s where I come in.

With over 10 years of experience as an Accredited Practising Dietitian, and lived experience of coeliac disease myself, I bring both the science and the real-life “how do I actually do this every day?” support.

My goal is simple:
to help you feel well, eat freely, and have the energy to show up fully in your life again.

If that’s where you’re at too — you’re in the right place 💛

I’d love to know… what’s one thing you’re currently finding most frustrating about your gut health or coeliac journey?

“I wish I started working with you earlier.”

A sentence I heard multiple times this week from women with completely different stories — but one thing in common:

They had been struggling alone for YEARS before reaching out for support.

Some thought:
▫️ their symptoms were “normal”
▫️ they just had to live with bloating or fatigue
▫️ the gluten free diet was enough
▫️ they were “doing coeliac disease wrong”
▫️ or that seeing a dietitian wouldn’t really help

And honestly, I understand why.

So many women with coeliac disease or ongoing gut symptoms spend years trying to piece everything together on their own while feeling overwhelmed by conflicting advice.

But support should feel:
✔ practical
✔ personalised
✔ evidence-based
✔ realistic for real life
✔ and genuinely supportive

Because managing coeliac disease is about more than “just avoiding gluten.”

It’s also about:
🌾 improving gluten free diet quality
💨 understanding ongoing gut symptoms
⚡ supporting energy and nutrient intake
🧠 reducing food fear and confusion
🦠 supporting long-term gut health

As a dietitian living with coeliac disease myself, I know how exhausting and isolating this can feel at times — which is why helping women feel more confident, comfortable and supported in their health is something I care deeply about 💛

And during Dietitians Week, it feels especially important to highlight the impact personalised nutrition support can have — not just physically, but emotionally too.

✨ If you’ve been wondering whether getting support could help, consider this your sign.

One of the biggest nutrition gaps I see in women following a gluten free diet?
🌾 Fibre.

And it’s not because people “aren’t trying” - it’s because many gluten free staple foods are naturally lower in fibre and wholegrains.

Over time, this can impact:
💨 gut symptoms
🦠 gut microbiome diversity
⚡ energy levels
❤️ cholesterol
🚽 bowel regularity
🍽 fullness and satisfaction

That’s why I love simple additions like this berry chia jam.

It’s:
✔ easy
✔ affordable
✔ gut friendly
✔ rich in fibre
✔ packed with plant compounds that support gut health

RECIPE 🍓

✔️2 cups berries
✔️2 tbsp chia seeds
✔️Squeeze of lemon juice

1. Heat berries in saucepan until softened
2. Mash gently
3. Stir through chia seeds + lemon
4. Allow to thicken as it cools
5. Store in fridge and add to yoghurt, uncontaminated oats (if tolerated), smoothies or gluten free toast 💛

✨ Small additions can make a huge difference to overall fibre intake on a gluten free diet.
